How to click a Clickdetector with tools?

[NUTRICORP (Nutria)]

well, I’ve been looking at how to make a click detector clickable with a tool but it doesn’t really give me any option for that, when trying to click with the tool neither does the script run so I don’t know what interferes with that (I already tried without the tool)

Add a Boolean value, that checks when the player has that tool equipped, into the player and when they click on the button check that value

If you want the click detector to show the normal mouse icon when the tools not equipped you can check the value and change the hover icons if they are hovering with the tool

Maybe this topic can help you:

ClickDetector Tools

As I’ve stated, you cannot use click detectors and tools at the same time. You could still use click detectors with the method I have provided, you just need to add and revise some parts of/to it. For instance, if you want the max activation to still work, you could use this: if (Tool.Handle.Position - Mouse.Target.Position).Magnitude <= Button.ClickDetector.MaxActivationDistance then --code end You won’t be able to use ClickDetector.MouseClick because this event won’t fire when a tool is…

You can check if the player is holding the tool.

local ClickDetector = script.Parent
local ToolName = "RocketLauncher"

ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr)
	if plr and plr.Character and plr.Character:FindFirstChild(ToolName) then
		-- whatever you want to happen here
	end
end)

This goes in a ServerScript and it needs to be a child of the ClickDetector. If you need it to be somewhere else then you can adjust the script.
